On October 26th Beijing time, the 9th round of the Premier League began. In the latest three completed games, Chelsea unexpectedly lost 1-2 to promoted Sunderland, Manchester United defeated Brighton 4-2, and Brentford toppled Liverpool 3-2. Consequently, the updated league table shows Sunderland climbing to second, Manchester United moving up to fourth, Liverpool slipping to sixth after four losses in a row, and Chelsea sitting in eighth place.

Chelsea vs Sunderland. Chelsea hosted this match against promoted Sunderland. Within 4 minutes, Chelsea launched a smooth attack with Garnacho sprinting into the box and scoring a quick goal. In the 8th minute, Sunderland threw a powerful long throw into the box causing chaos, and Isido seized the chance to equalize. In the second half, Chelsea’s coach made a strange substitution by taking off the in-form Achampong and Garnacho, which led to losing control of the game. In stoppage time at the 93rd minute, Sunderland launched a long ball from the back to the front. Brobbey ran into the box but failed to score against two Chelsea defenders, then crossed to Talbi who swept the ball into the net. Thus, Chelsea suffered a heartbreaking 1-2 loss to Sunderland in stoppage time!

Manchester United vs Brighton. Manchester United played very composedly with well-organized offense and defense and effective midfield control. They quickly scored three goals. However, after the 70th minute, United gradually lost control due to substitutions, and their defense was under pressure. Brighton intensified their counterattack and narrowed the gap to 2-3, causing Manchester United some nervous moments. Fortunately, in stoppage time, Mbumo scored again, securing a 4-2 victory for United. This win marked United’s third consecutive triumph, pushing them up to fourth place. It seems Manchester United is slowly getting back on track with more stable form, making this season promising!

Brentford vs Liverpool. The Bees played very strongly at home, coming out aggressively and scoring two goals that stunned Liverpool. Liverpool managed to score a difficult goal during first-half stoppage time. In the second half, Brentford earned a penalty which Igor Thiago calmly converted to extend the lead. Liverpool’s Sobotka then chipped a pass into the box where Salah capitalized to score, but Liverpool still lost 2-3 to Brentford. It’s quite surprising for Liverpool, who started with five straight wins but now face four consecutive defeats. Despite signing many players, the team is experiencing such dramatic ups and downs!
